Life is going to be full of seasons. Seasons are both divine
and natural. The preacher in the Bible talks about different kind of season and
time. There is the summer just as we have the winter. We have got the season to plant and also the
season to harvest. There is a time to be born and a time to die. In short, our
lives are typified by phases and seasons. Do you remember that there was a time
you would sleep ff on a couch in the sitting room and find yourself on your bed
the next day because daddy carried you in? That was a season of your life but
right now you are probably carrying someone in too whenever he / she fall
asleep. Remember when you would cry because you hate seeing mom drop you off in
junior school but now you are writing your MBA finals.
The seasons of life change so our roles and responsibilities
change as well. Therefore, we will be faced with different seasons in our
journey to fulfilling our destiny. There is a particular season that is of
interest to me and I have called it the “in between season.” There is a place
where you are now, and there is a place where you aspire to be. There is your
present state and your future. Now between that present and the future there is
a space of time called the In between season. It is the vestibule of life where
exit from present reality connect entry into the future hopes and dreams. It is
the space of time between what you have chosen to disconnect from and what you
have chosen to connect to. It is the period separating your dreams from your
fears. It is the season that puts our values and the character of men to test.
Be aware that before the manifestation of your future, there
is going to be a waiting time; it is called the season in between. Between
being a better wife, hubby, politician and what you are right now, there is a
season in between.
An anonymous quote says a good way to judge a man’s
character is his disposition when he has everything and importantly is his attitude
when he has nothing. Waiting can be painful but it is equally gainful.
Successful talk show host and comedian, Teju babyface was asked to advise
upcoming talents on what to do for them to succeed in their chosen career. Like
most people would do, he rolled out a number of things about being passionate,
disciplined and a lot more. But he ended by saying “after you have done all you
have got to do, then you have to wait” he said “there is what is called the waiting
time and this is not what many people will tell you.” There is a time of your
life when you realize you have done everything, you have given the best shots
but it seems not to work out, it may just be your own season in between. You
have got to understand seasons and be prepared for it. Face your fears! Your
season will come but you will be ready and prepared.
